RAO'S FAMOUS LEMON CHICKEN
The most requested dish at Rao's in New York City is this lemon chicken -- or pollo al limone, as many of the restaurant's Italian American regulars say. Owner Frank Pellegrino roasts two broiler chickens, then flavors the meat with a tangy lemon, olive-oil, and garlic sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler for at least 15 minutes before using.
- Broil chicken halves, turning once, until skin is golden brown and juices run clear when bird is pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes. Remove chicken from broiler, leaving broiler on. Using a very sharp knife, cut each half into about six pieces (leg, thigh, wing, and three small breast pieces).
- Place chicken on a baking sheet with raised sides. Pour lemon sauce over the chicken, and toss to coat well. If necessary, divide sauce in half, and do this in two batches.
- Return to broiler, and broil for 3 minutes. Turn each piece, and broil for an additional minute. Remove from broiler, and evenly portion chicken onto six warm serving plates.
- Pour sauce into a heavy saucepan, and stir in parsley. Place over high heat, and boil for 1 minute. Pour sauce over chicken, distributing it evenly among the six servings; serve with lots of crusty bread to absorb the sauce.

[email protected]This recipe is a great way to get my kids to eat chicken. They love the tangy lemon sauce and the crispy chicken skin. I usually serve it with rice and vegetables, and they always clean their plates.

[email protected]I'm a vegetarian, so I made this recipe with tofu instead of chicken. It turned out great! The tofu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The lemon sauce was also delicious. I would definitely make this again with tofu.

[email protected]This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a big batch of roasted chicken on the weekend and used the leftovers to make this dish. It was quick and easy, and the chicken was just as flavorful as it was when it was first roasted.

[email protected]I'm allergic to lemons, so I substituted lime juice in the sauce. It turned out great! The chicken was still moist and flavorful, and the lime sauce was tangy and refreshing. I would definitely make this again with lime juice.

[email protected]This recipe is a bit too simple for my taste. I like my lemon chicken to have a bit more flavor. I added some garlic, oregano, and thyme to the sauce and it turned out much better.

[email protected]I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out dry and overcooked. The lemon sauce was also too sour for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
